Resident Sports Professional (Rackets)

For a September 2026 start, Cheltenham College’s Sports Department is looking to appoint a Resident Sports Professional (Rackets). No experience in the sport is needed, but you will have a willingness to learn, understand how to get the best out of pupils, and have a proven record within your present sport.

As this is a resident position with a pastoral requirement, there is  an expectation that the postholder would be a Resident Tutor in one of College’s boarding houses and would be expected to undertake evening duties and responsibilities to assist with the smooth running and pastoral care of the pupils.  

Sports professionals have a fantastic time living and working in a supportive and rewarding environment, gaining great experience, working really hard in a seven day a week boarding school – and having great fun.

Under the line management of the Director of Sport, Sports Professionals will also assist in the management of key areas of sport’s busy programme and will gain valuable experience in administration, marketing and communications. Amongst others, the department comprises Gwyn Williams (Director of Hockey and current Hockey Wales Men’s Manager), Olly Morgan (Director of Rugby and former England Rugby international), and Kate Mears (Director of Netball and former Seven Stars Coach); there is the opportunity to learn from highly talented and successful sports colleagues.
